🌿 Care Guide

1. Light:

• Needs full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight daily).

• Indoors: place near a south-facing window or use a grow light.

2. Watering:

• Drought-tolerant, but avoid soggy soil.

• Water deeply but infrequently. Let the top 2 inches of soil dry before watering again.

• Potted trees may need watering 1–2 times/week in summer; reduce in winter.

3. Soil:

• Requires well-draining soil.

• Ideal mix: sandy or loamy soil with perlite or gravel.

• Avoid heavy clay soils.

4. Fertilizing:

• Feed during spring–summer every 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or citrus fertilizer).

5. Pruning:

• Best done late winter to early spring before new growth.

• Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches.

• Thin interior branches for airflow and sunlight.

• Shape into an open canopy for fruit production.

6. Temperature & Climate:

• Olive trees thrive in UAE conditions.

7. Pests & Problems:

• Watch for scale, aphids, olive fruit fly, and root rot (from overwatering).

• Neem oil or insecticidal soap helps control pests.

• Good drainage prevents most diseases.

8. Fruit Production:

• Many varieties need a pollinator nearby.

• Typically start fruiting at 3–5 years.

• Full sun + proper pruning promotes healthy fruiting.

✅ Quick Tip:

• Indoors for decoration? Treat it like a hardy houseplant.

• For fruit, ensure maximum sun exposure and occasional outdoor time.
